ZDoom

Don't worry about the name, that only gets done for proper releases.

The version on dec 19 seems to work, but is called 0.80 beta?

where do I get that?

What version of Raze are you using? 0.8.1 won't do, you need a more recent devbuild.

Basically, a no seq message

And the msg's in the ini file such as being wounded is not showing up.

It's getting harder this time - NoOne already pushed his latest changes to a work branch for NBlood so I was able to check it out.
The main issue is that trying to port features while at the same time cleaning up the engine's code is a losing proposition. At some point the code bases will just become too incompatible to constantly merge in such extensive changes. We'll see. If he stops adding new things, all should be fine, but if he constantly adds new features to NBlood as he needs them it will be inevitable that at some point we'll have to stop taking these updates.

What about the messages? Can you post some examples? I only checked out that mod's beginning and there everything looked fine.

It appears that the messages' in NHIS.ini does not display correctly tho, rather I get a bunch of error msgs in the console.

Got it to work, Thanks for looking into this.

Based on this, there may be some more NBlood exclusives incoming.

Hope Raze can support them, Nblood lacks some stuff, like texture filtering.

So, I finally stepped down into that cesspool of an installation package. As of today it can be played with a devbuild. There was still a bug with parsing the RFS files that needed to be fixed.
Unfortunately, to get this working you have to work around the mod's launcher, and repackage it first:

- Extract just the NHIS folder to some place on your hard drive.
- rename the nhis*.art files to tiles*.art (*)
- rename nhis.ini to blood.ini. (*)
- zip this directory up but as the root folder in the zip, not as a subfolder like in the original.
- launch with -file nhis.zip.
- enjoy (or not - you will see once you start it why I made that remark )

(*) The renaming is mainly for making it easier to launch, you could get around it with some command line actions, but this way is easier.

TBH, I haven't tried to untangle that messed up distribution yet.

Can 0.71 play "Blood: no hope in sight" now? Thanks much!

This is definitely one of the worst I've ever seen. I'll post an update later this evening.

Like one of those old DOS mods? Jeez...

I've seen plenty of mods using batch files to run, but I've never had any use for them. In GDX I would just select the .ini file to run from the User Maps/Mods entry in the menu, while in NBood I would rename the .ini to BLOOD.INI and select it at startup. Fascinating.

That's because this mod needs more work. It's a totally messed up launch procedure, without running the batch it is bound to break. I'll need to invest a bit of time here to make sure that everything works as expected.

It doesn't seem to run on 5330964a7a622fe6d8b54a0982c336dd2456d9f4 either.

I just tried to .zip the contents of the mod from inside the NHIS folder and load the newly created archive with -file, but it doesn't seem to load up. I'm not seeing any changes.
